Do You Believe that Al Gore Deserves His Nobel Peace Prize?

Answer 1

He and bill clinton blew off the Kyoto treaty when they were in power...

NO this is all media manufactured blitz. Ever since Arafat got a NPP, it's been WORTHLESS.
In fact the best way to get a NPP is for a tyrant to kill a bunch of people and then stop killing them, as if said dictator is reformed.


And so NOW what about global warming, did you notice NO SCIENTISTS WILL STATE HOW MUCH CO2 MITIGATION WILL COOL THE EARTH?? Man's contribution is a co-factor, because 1) the Earth has warmed before and 2) Venus lost its water by warming without industry and 3) Mars is warming...so if Man is contributing, that doesn't mean that stopping all CO2 is going to cool the Earth, in fact GW scientists state that it will do nothing, it's unstoppable for 500 years. This is all profiteerism, Alt-E is the next BIG OIL.

Al Gore is a hypocrite. He lives in mansions and flies in jets and wastes so damn much energy it's not funny, and YOU PAID FOR THEM because he ripped off Americans by selling the Strategic Naval Oil Reserves which profited his OWN company, Occidental Petroleum hundreds of millions of dollars. He's also profited from strip mining.

Nobel PEACE Prize? The UN won too, the same UN that's not defending Sudanese Christians from being slaughtered by Muslims in Darfur. Peace? Al Gore? During Clinton's administration 800,000 were slaughtered in Rwanda.


Further, he's proposing YOU pay for carbon offsets that HIS companies will sell. If you do not pay, there will be carbon fines, fees, taxes, and perhaps property seizure. They will start measuring your "carbon footprint" and make you pay cash---as if that makes any sense at all.

It's all profiteerism.

Answer 2

No.

I think climate change is important, and the human race is the reason that there is the dramatic rate of climate change that we are seeing now (climate change has never occured this quickly before, except once, if indeed a meterorite hit the earth and killed the dinosaurs).

Al Gore did the right thing by being one of the many people to raise awareness of climate change, and more imporantly, the rapid rise in temperatures that has never happened before.

But, he has done nothing regarding peace. And for that, I do not think he deserves the Nobel PEACE prize.

Answer 3

sure, the President of the U. S. deserved the Nobel Peace Prize and you want a prize for being happy. This is going out to Lee J. Your tale is fairly touching and the hero of a females could have been provided. i might have voted for her, truly of Al Gore. yet ya know there is extra to the call than us commoners know. i'm finished Norske and that i firmly have faith Norway chosen Gore for a reason. they could have given the females an award too. Her dedication became severe on Human suffering. i might have voted for her.

Answer 4

Yes he does deserve it. He has worked hard and is making a better change for America. If it was not him that won. Then it would have been someone else. Who ever that person was people have said oh that person did not deserve to win. Why can we all not be happy for the man. His presidency was taking away by Bush, so why can we not just let the man have is Noble Peace Prize. He had worked hard and deserves it.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I agree or not. The Nobel Foundation is a private organisation and they can give their prizes to whoever they want!"

Nobody is questioning what they can't or can do or if they are a private institution or not. People are questioning if they should or shouldn't have made the choice they made.

Try thinking about things next time.

Cheers :-) <<<

You've really helped focus my mind .... so let me see, thinking about it HARD, I wonder why if people think the Nobel Prizes are a joke, you bothered to answer this question!!! After all, if no-one respects them, what's got YOU so hot under the collar?

BTW, in case you missed the POINT, he won for awareness raising not his over-long and slightly boring film, or his American politics, which people elsewehere could care less about.

Have a nice day now you hear :-)

Answer 6

Personally no. He didn't deserves the Nobe Peace Prize. It was a pure gimmick by Al Gore. Funny when he was vice president he never mention global warming etc. This was done for self glory

Answer 7

This is why everyone takes the Nobel Peace Prize as a joke. I don't see why award the supposedly most prestigious award to a guy that made a movie that's scientifically inaccurate.

Answer 8

Al Gore deserves some global warming

Answer 9

HELL, NOT!!!
Hypocrite Gore Should Practice What He Preaches.
After an examination of his record, it becomes clear that Vice President Al Gore talking about science and technology is like Fidel Castro or Joseph Stalin talking about freedom
and democracy - each knows little about of what he speaks.

Answer 10

I think he does... I might question his real motivations for what he is doing lately but the fact that it does work makes him worthy of the prize
